Angels Among Us

For many of us today we return to work after a long weekend of family 4th of July Holiday celebrations, fireworks, cookouts, and lazy days by swimming pools; but for two families I hold very close in my hearts their weekend was very different. These families lost someone dear to them…a mother and a sister. Two women who deeply impacted their lives and the lives of many others during the time they spent on earth. Lives well lived! Jobs well done!

There comes a time in life when those we love dearly must take the next step in their journey and pass onto the next realm…for me I have only ever thought of this wonderful place as Heaven.

For our loved ones, their last breath means leaving behind those they love to return to those they have lost years before, it also means they may let go of the struggle, let go of restless days and nights and fall to sleep gently, returning to a place of peace and splendor, only to return and bless those on earth as angels from the celestial city…angels among us.

Family and friends who are left behind feel a deep and complete sense of loss for their matriarch, grandmother, sister and friend as their lives have been touched by this amazing human’s gentle spirit as she roamed this earth; their easy smiles, their gentle guiding hands, their friendly demeanor and welcoming ways will not be forgotten, and they will always be near when needed…angels among us.

Look up, feel the rain on your cheek, the soft wind blowing on a cool summer evening, the leaves floating softly through the autumn wind, they are not far…angels among us.

My dearest friends, I wish you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart.❤️
